Saturday
8th – Harvest Supper at Southborough Lane Baptist Church (opp. St James). 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Please support this event – no booking – just turn up with
something savoury or sweet. ALL our Petts Wood churches are supporting this
and it should be a great evening. Children are warmly welcome and there will
be special activities for them. A great way to just be together as
followers of Christ.

Next
weekend we shall
warmly welcome Francesca Henbest from CAFOD, who will
be speaking at all Masses. Please bring in harvest foods for the Manna
Centre. (Sheets on porch table).

Peter
Luckett (90 yrs)
died last Tuesday after a short illness. We commend his soul to the love of God,
and remember his daughters Hilary and Carol in our prayers. Peter was a
dedicated member of the Knights of St Columba. His body will be received
into church here next Sunday (9th) followed by a special
Mass of Farewell at 6pm in accordance with the Knights’ tradition. (This
will fulfil the Sunday obligation). Peter’s Requiem will be here the
following morning (10th) at 10.30am, followed by
committal at Lewisham crematorium. (note NO 9.30am Mass).
He was a
lovely man and a devout soul and we shall miss him.
I do
encourage members of the congregation who are available to always be present
at Requiem Masses. There is nothing more effective we can do for the
departed than to take part in the sacrifice of Mass. It is also a tremendous
support to the family.

Our 2nd
reading today is
again from St Paul’s letter to the Philippians – an exhortation that we may
know the peace of God. Read it again when you get home or during the week.
Peace
be with you! Fr
Bryan
